Grades aren't everything, says advisor
The School Improvement Advisor has suggested pupils get a more rounded education on the Isle of Man than across the water.
Young people Island-wide head back to school today, with the new academic year getting underway.
Joel Smith says grades and results aren't necessarily the be-all and end-all for the Department of Education, Sport and Culture, which could differ from approaches elsewhere:


Further delay to TT schedule due to 'non-racing operational matter'
Crash which closed the Mountain Road ahead of racing 'not too serious'
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
